Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken or beef with shredded cheddar cheese. Add ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices and cheese throughout the meat.

Fill and Roll the Taquitos
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each tortilla. Spread it in a line across the bottom third of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up. Secure with a toothpick if necessary to keep them from unrolling during frying.
